    I just bought a new car and the stereo isn't great at all. It's a Nissan X-Trail 2002.

    I'd love to fit a Lidl/Aldi car stereo but I'd also still love to keep the steering wheel controls. Is this possible?

    Thanks, but I already have the Lidl car stereo. So I'm looking for an adaptor for that one.

    did you read my post

    i was gonna just type no

    bring it bvack to them and tell them it dosen't fit because your car uses steering comntrols

    lidil are good like that

    I read your post smart ass. It doesn't mention the Lidl stereo not being capable of using the steering controls. It just recommends a different stereo and states that cheap stereos are cheap.

    This is the third Lidl car stereo I've had and I find them great.

    So I have to choose now to go with steering controls on my radio or having a Lidl stereo with bluetooth and USB reader.

    to which i answered no

    as in no you cant use your lidil stereo with steering controls

    i then gasve a link to a stereo thgat will work

    and a site with stuff that will work

    i also then gave you advice on how to rewturn the stereo to get one that suits

    to that you call me a smart arse

    i say that if you were given help in real life you be grateful and polite but

    but because you are online you feel free to call me names

    why would you not takt the advise you asked for with gratitude

    How about we put away the handbags lads? Tigger was only offering an alternative solution.

    I find it hard to read your posts. Something about the way you use grammar or spelling. I just thought 'no' was apart of a sentence preceding the next line down. Meaning "No, just use a clarion and look at this post I made in a previous thread about cheap stereos and the ones I recommend. "

    In the post you linked to you started that with "Yes". So I just thought it's the style you write in.

    the post i linked to asked the question "can i retain steering controls and display"

    answer was yes then some explination

    yopur post was "can i get the philips/silvercrest lidil radio to work" answer was no with an alternatitive

    anyway i'll assume that this is a close as you can get to an apology for calling me a smart arse and i'll stay out of you way from now on. i find it much easier to converse in the spoken word but reading back on my post i still think i was clear i was trying to help.
